First Look at the Wisconsin Governors Race

The Recombobulation Minute · Fri Aug 1, 2025

I'm Dan Schaefer, let's recombobulate.

With Governor Tony Evers choosing not to run for a third term, that means we're going

to have the first open race for governor in 16 years.

We already know who some of the candidates will be, on the Democratic side, Lieutenant

Governor Sarah Rodriguez launched her campaign, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley

said he's running.

On the Republican side, Washington County Executive Josh Schoeman and Southeastern

Wisconsin Business Executive Bill Barry in our running, many more are expected to join

the race.

Not just Governor that will have an open race.

We can see open races for Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and

State Treasurer too.

Couple that with what's happening in the state legislature no longer under gerrymandered

maps.

The year 2026 is going to bring a rather unique moment for voters in Wisconsin to determine

the path forward on a fresh new era for the state.

I know some can be wary of change, but let's embrace this as the real opportunity that

it is.

And all of Dan's work at the Recombobulation Area.
